The Toronto Raptors are coming off a much-needed two-day break as they looked gassed in their last matchup versus the Chicago Bulls. This is the first time in a while it feels like the Raptors aren’t headed out on another road trip or getting ready to play in a back-to-back. They now return home to Scotiabank arena to finish the season series versus the Cleveland Cavaliers.
The Cavaliers have had our Raptors’ number this season, taking three of the four games out of the season series. However, After an impressive string of wins in the last 10 games for the Raptors and some luck with the Chicago Bulls and Cavaliers both slowing down, the Raptors now find themselves entrenched in a seeding battle for the sixth seed and the subsequent reward of skipping the play-in tournament.
